    In conversations about the workplace and AI, the debate often centers around which jobs will be replaced by AI. But the truth is AI is having even more meaningful gains when it augments and transforms how we do our work and leverages the knowledge inherent in the people we work with. This great podcast with Erik Brynjolfsson of Stanford (see transcript below) highlights many of the gains coming from tapping into that knowledge to the benefit of everyone in the company. That helps increase productivity and the skills we use everyday -- a huge problem when 9 out of 10 companies say they're experience huge skill gaps as AI's impact accelerates. As we talk with customers, we've learned how important it is to tackle this problem for them. A lot of company productivity, analytics and performance solutions are for the benefit of the manager. Nobody is advocating for the individual. We're changing this focus with tools we're now testing with customers. It's time to champion the individual in the workforce, harnessing AI to help them achieve their potential. https://lnkd.in/emk5MjWn

    It's unsurprising that most legacy performance management systems are using generative AI to help write feedback faster. The worst version of this just expands on bullet points to fill the space quickly. But better versions will help people write more constructive and actionable feedback, tuned to the unique evaluation criteria of the company, function, and level. AI (not just generative AI) will improve this process. But generative feedback is just a band-aid on a legacy process that has passed its expiration date. AI and data from work tools enable a new approach to performance, where you can analyze the actual work itself and provide real-time guidance without the lengthy legacy cycle inbetween. Feedback can be streamlined, in the moment, and more quantifiable than ever, which also helps remove some of the inherent bias. Nobody loves spending days writing up reviews, digging through past work to find highlights to prove your worth, or churning through reams of feedback and 1:1/OKR history to understand performance. Those days are numbered. We're excited to explore a new approach with our initial customers, and will have more to share soon.

    Here's a place I hope that AI fails. This is Lattice, a tool for managers, their teams, and peers to give each other feedback. They are pushing these little "Assist" buttons into every field. Press it, and it will re-write and expand what you've written. The problem is that the goal of feedback is not to hit an impressive word count. It's not to make sure the feedback is well written or well rounded or "covers your bases". The goal of feedback is to reflect on what it is that will actually help someone level up in their job and their career. By giving people a shortcut to get to "submit" faster, it also shortcuts that reflection porcess. And it will deliver feedback that is at best unopinionated and unhelpful, and at worst incorrect. AI will have many incredible use cases. I hope this is not one of them.

    In the last few years, few departments have faced as much upheaval as HR. From navigating the complexities of remote work to addressing new social and economic challenges, HR has been at the forefront of change. It's been a pretty tough gig, as this NYT article highlights. We've found the most successful HR partnerships are often those where the business teams are equipped with powerful tools, insightful data, and actionable insight, helping everyone do their best work and pre-empt issues before they flare up. Exceeds believes in empowering managers and individuals alike to excel without burdensome overhead. We provide engineering leaders the ability to know how their team is performing and collaborating real-time, based on quantitative and qualitative data. Believing in transparency, we give individuals the coaching and insights to drive their own growth. The tools we provide complement an HR team's existing toolkit, so it's painless to get started.

    Sharing more about the Exceeds journey from co-founders Pradeepta Dash and Mark Hull. https://lnkd.in/gTjPD6Ku

    Co-founder at Exceeds AI (ex-Meta, LinkedIn, GoodRx)

    About a decade ago, Pradeepta Dash and I worked with a great team to create LinkedIn Messaging. It’s hard to believe now, but back then, real-time communication was still a novelty at work, and some argued whether it’d ever have a place next to email. In many ways, LinkedIn’s core business was built upon that stuffy, old InMail style of communication. We thought it should be different, and took the risks to completely transform it. Now, it’s arguably one of the biggest drivers for professional engagement and communication. Fast forward from those 0-1 days, and Pradeepta and I are joining forces again, founding Exceeds to challenge conventions and tackle more big problems in the workplace. We’ve witnessed the increased pressure on managers to eke out more impact from their teams. The “year of efficiency” is enduring. AI and margin pressure are increasing expectations to do more with less. Individuals are carrying a larger burden, often with less guidance and support than ever. Navigating your professional journey can be a lonely path without guidance, coaching and advocacy. It’s time to retire the old models of coaching, performance reviews and helicopter management. Capturing extensive 1:1 notes that go unread, writing lengthy reviews to prove your worth, and peanut-buttering your management time across a large team are all symptoms of a broken system. We believe there’s a better way to help managers and individuals have bigger impact without the anxiety and overhead that companies spend today in performance processes and manager check-ins. By analyzing a team’s work and interactions, we can generate powerful insights in a company. Leveraging those insights with AI will transform the way people are coached and managed and give individuals more direct control of their growth. All of this at a fraction of the time and cost that’s typically being wasted today. Thanks to the support of a lot of amazing angel investors and our first customers, we’re hard at work at bringing this vision to life. We’ll have more to share in upcoming posts, and thank you for supporting us on our mission. P.S. "Exceeds" is a hat tip to everyone who navigates their company performance processes, trying to nab that "Exceeds Expectations" rating. Everyone deserves an "Exceeds."

    The end of performance reviews is near. Nobody loves the outdated, time-wasting process of performance reviews that traditionally happens once or twice a year. When done well, they can offer valuable insights and strong coaching to help employees grow. But too often, these reviews are mired in subjectivity and bias, lacking clear and consistent signals. Annual review meetings frequently bring unwanted surprises and stress. Managers often loathe this process too, forced to rely on outdated HR systems with endless forms and spreadsheets. Even the latest performance tools are still too subjective and fail to focus on what truly matters—the work itself. It doesn’t have to be this way, and Exceeds is here to change that. Drawing upon our founders’ experiences at Meta, LinkedIn, and other tech hubs, we've developed data-driven tools that provide timely, transparent insights. Our approach reduces the stress of traditional evaluations, helping teams stay aligned and productive. By integrating with daily work tools, our solutions generate actionable performance signals that enhance decision-making and support a culture of continuous improvement. But performance management is just the beginning. With our unique insights and the help of AI, leaders can recruit, coach, retain, and hire more efficiently and effectively, all while reducing costs and headcount. Follow our page to stay updated on our journey and learn how we're empowering individuals to take control of their workplace performance and providing leaders with the insights they need to succeed. https://lnkd.in/gKV5WHiQ
